The Angel of the Lord

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #591 (1866) First Line: Onward speed thy conquering flight Lyrics: Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward speed! Cast abroad thy radiant light, Bid the shades recede; Tread the idols in the dust, Heathen fanes destroy, Spread the gospel’s love and trust, Spread the gospel’s joy. Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward fly! Long has been the reign of night, Bring the morning nigh. Unto thee earth’s sufferers lift Their imploring wail; Bear them heaven’s holy gift Ere their courage fail. Onward speed thy conquering flight, Angel, onward speed! Morning bursts upon our sight, Lo, the time decreed! Now the Lord His kingdom takes, Thrones and empires fall, And the joyous song awakes, God is all in all. Languages: English

The Reformer’s Vow

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #592 (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: God of the earnest heart Lyrics: God of the earnest heart, The trust assured and still, Thou who our strength forever art,— We come to do Thy will! Upon that painful road By saints serenely trod, Whereon their hallowing influence flowed, Would we go forth, O God! ’Gainst doubt and shame and fear In human hearts to strive, That all may learn to love and bear, To conquer self, and live; To draw Thy blessing down, And bring the wronged redress, And give this glorious world its crown, The spirit’s Godlikeness. No dreams from toil to charm, No trembling on the tongue;— Lord, in Thy rest may we be calm, Through Thy completeness, strong! Thou hearest while we pray; O deep within us write, With kindling power, our God, to-day, Thy word,—“On earth be light!” Languages: English

The day which prophets have foretold, And saints have longed for, draweth near: Our God shall in His kingdom come; Prepare your hearts to make Him room! O ye of fearful hearts, be strong! Your downcast eyes and hands lift up; Doubt not, nor cry “O God, how long?” Hope to the end, in patience hope! O never from your faith remove; Ye cannot fail, for God is love! Lord, we have faith; we wait the hour Which to the earth Thy kingdom brings; When Thou, in love, and joy, and power, Shalt come and make us priests and kings: When man shall be indeed Thy son, And Thy pure will on earth be done.

And even now, amid the gray, The East is brightening fast, And kindling to that perfect day Which never shall be past. We wait in faith, we wait in prayer, Till that blest day shall shine, When earth shall fruits of Eden bear, And all, O God, be Thine! O, guide us till our night is done! Until, from shore to shore, Thou, Lord, our everlasting sun, Art shining evermore! Languages: English

Lo! He Cometh

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #596 (1866) First Line: God comes, with succor speedy Lyrics: God comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; He comes to break oppression, And set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. He shall come down, as showers Upon the thirsty earth; And joy and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall Peace, the herald, go, And Righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows, ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand forever; His great, best name of Love. Languages: English

The Holy Way

See the fair way His hand hath raised, How holy and how plain! Nor shall the simplest travellers err, Nor ask the trace in vain. No ravening lion shall destroy, Nor lurking serpent wound; Pleasure and safety, peace and praise, Through all the path are found. A hand divine shall lead you on Through all the blissful road, Till to the sacred mount you rise, And see your smiling God. There, garlands of immortal joy Shall bloom on every head; While sorrow, sighing, and distress, Like shadows all are fled. Languages: English

The Prophet’s Vision

Streams of love our thirst to bless, Starting in the wilderness. Long we wait Thy peace to know: Father, bid the waters flow, Make the thirsty land a pool, Make man’s suffering spirit whole. Hark! the wastes have found a voice; Loneliest deserts now rejoice, When the Lord His presence shows, Lo, they blossom like the rose; See! this barren earth of ours Buds and puts forth fruits and flowers, Flowers of Eden, fruits of peace, Love and Joy and Righteousness! Languages: English

Thy Will Be Done on Earth as in Heaven

Author: J. Wesley Hymnal: BHPPD866 #599 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Spirit of peace and love and power Lyrics: Spirit of peace and love and power, Fountain of life and light below, Abroad Thy healing influence shower, O’er all the nations let it flow. Inspire our hearts with perfect love; In all the work of faith fulfil; So not heaven’s host shall swifter move, Than we on earth, to do Thy will. Father, ’tis Thine each day to yield Thy children’s wants a fresh supply; Thou clothest the lilies of the field, And hearest the young ravens cry. To Thee we pray; for all must live By Thee, who knowest their every need— Pray for the world, that Thou wilt give All human hearts Thy living bread. In faith we wait and long and pray, To see that time, by prophets told, When nations, new-born into day, Shall be ingathered to Thy fold. We cannot doubt Thy gracious will, Thou mighty, merciful and just! And Thou wilt speedily fulfil The word in which Thy servants trust. Languages: English

Brightening Unto the Perfect Day

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #600 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Gone is the hollow, murky night Lyrics: Gone is the hollow, murky night, With all its shadows dun; O shine upon us, heavenly light, As on the earth the sun! Pour on our hearts Thy heavenly beam, In radiance sublime! Retire before that ray supreme, Ye sins of elder time! Lo, on the morn that now is here No night shall ever fall; But faith shall burn, undimmed and clear, Till God be all in all. This is the dawn of infant faith; The day will follow soon, When hope shall breathe with freer breath, And morn be lost in noon; For to the seed that’s sown to-day A harvest time is given, When charity with faith to stay, Shall make on earth a heaven.
